Re: function Clock return Time; Time is a number, a string...?

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

In Ada it is a private maybe numeric type or it could be something else  
and in the Ada.Calendar package their are other routines that convert this 
private type to other type that a program can use. 

To use:

--
-- tt.adb
--
with Ada.Calendar ;
use  Ada.Calendar ;

with Text_IO ;
use Text_IO ;

with Ada.Integer_Text_IO ;
use Ada.Integer_Text_IO ;

procedure tt is

  Clock_Value : Time := Clock ;

begin 

  Put ( "Date => " ) ;

  Put ( Year ( Clock_Value ), 4 ) ;

  Put ( '/' ) ;

  if Month ( Clock_Value ) < 10 then
    Put ( '0' ) ;
  end if ;
  Put ( Month ( Clock_Value ), 1 ) ;

  Put ( '/' ) ;

  if Day ( Clock_Value ) < 10 then
    Put ( '0' ) ;
  end if ;
  Put ( Day ( Clock_Value ), 1 ) ;
  New_Line ;

end ;
